Attorney General: John Ladenburg

John Ladenburg

Party: Democratic

Candidate for: Attorney General

Incumbent? No

Age: 58

Hometown: Tacoma

Occupation: Pierce County Executive

50-word statement: Pierce County Executive John Ladenburg will bring hands-on experience in criminal justice, financial management, and consumer protection to an office that should be run for the people.

A four-term elected County Prosecutor, John helped write the state's first sex offender monitoring legislation, reduced violent drug crimes, and prosecuted polluters.

Three priorities: IDENTITY THEFT AND CONSUMER PROTECTION:

Washington is the 2nd worst state in the nation for consumer fraud and 9th worst for identity theft. John will increase enforcement and improve tracking and sentencing. Why are we paying the highest gas prices in the nation? John will get answers, not make excuses.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION:

John has a history of defending our air, water, climate and open space and will continue to do so.

SAFEGUARDING KIDS AND SENIORS

Online predators and scam artists prey on our most vulnerable. John has actual courtroom experience and will use his skills to track down and punish those who abuse kids and seniors.
